🎆 Red, White & Berry Delight: A 4th of July Dessert Worth Fireworks 🎇
The 4th of July is one of my favorite excuses to play with food. And by “play,” I mean layer, drizzle, whip, and maybe sneak a little Cool Whip straight from the tub (don’t judge — it’s a holiday). This year, I’m serving up a Red, White & Berry Delight Trifle — easy, crowd-pleasing, and so …
